PREFACE. 


In  recent  years  many  cities  and  towns  in  this  country,  more 
especially  in  New  England,  have  become  interested  in  collecting 
and  preserving  historical  data.  Communities  which  have  not 
been  indifferent  to  progress  in  other  matters  have  evinced  a 
,  strong  desire  to  gather  the  scattered  threads  of  historic  value, 
cherishing  the  hope  that  from  the  tangled  skein  might  be  evolved 
the  story  of  a  people's  worth. 

In  cities  and  towns  which  possess  abundance  of  material  for 

CD  • 

^  civic  pride,  this  spirit  has  become  a  settled  policy  and  the  prm- 
'"'  ter's  art  is  being  freely  used  to  perpetuate  the  records  of  the 
^      past. 

.3  For  many  years  past,  the  necessity  of  copying  and  preserv- 

^  ing  in  some  permanent  form  the  early  records  of  the  Town 
of  Cambridge  was  evident  to  any  person  who  had  occasion 
or  desire  to  scrutinize  the  original  records. 

That  this  City  possesses  records  which  have  successfully 
survived  the  occurrences  of  two  hundred  and  sixty  years  is 
indeed  a  source  of  congratulation,  but  an  examination  of  the 
pages  reveals  the  ravage  of  time,  and  the  probability  that  in  a 
few  years  practical  use  of  these  records  will  be  impossible. 

Mr.  Walter  W.  Pike,  late  City  Clerk,  was  fully  cognizant 
of  the  need  of  preservative  action,  and  requested  of  the  City 


iv  PREFACE. 

Council  authority  to  commence  the  work  of  copying  and 
printing.  This  request  met  with  a  hearty  response,  as  is  here- 
after recited,  and  the  work  was  begun  with  an  ardor  and  interest 
which  bespoke  its  rapid  and  successful  completion. 

By  the  death  of  Mr.  Pike,  however,  the  task  of  continuing  a 
work  which  had  been  so  well  begun  necessarily  fell  upon  his 
successor  in  office. 

In  his  inaugural  address,  delivered  January  i,  1894,  His 
Honor,  Mayor  Bancroft,  recommended  that  the  expediency  of 
publishing  the  old  Records  of  Newtowne  and  the  Town  of 
Cambridge,  together  with  the  Records  of  the  Proprietors  of 
Common  Lands,  be  considered  by  the  City  Council.  Acting 
upon  this  recommendation,  the  matter  was  intrusted  to  the 
Committee  on  Printing  for  that  year,  —  Aldermen  Bleiler 
and  James,  and  Councilmen  Reid,  Allen,  and  Whitmore. 
This  Committee,  believing  that  preservation  in  type  of  these 
old  records  of  the  early  town  was  of  paramount  importance, 
and  after  careful  deliberation,  reported  favorably,  as  the  follow- 
ing order  passed  by  the  City  Council  on  March  15,  1894,  at 
its  request,  will  show,  viz.:  — 

"  Ordered :  That  the  City  Clerk  be  authorized  to  prepare  a  printer's  copy 
of  the  Proprietors' Records  of  Cambridge  suitable  for  publication,  and  at  an 
expense  not  exceeding  the  sum  of  five  hundred  dollars,  the  same  to  be  charged 
to  the  appropriation  for  Incidental  Expenses." 

Under  the  direction  of  Mr.  Pike,  then  City  Clerk,  the  task 
of  preparing  a  correct  copy  of  the  Records  of  the  Proprie- 
tors was  immediately  commenced. 


PREFACE.  V 

The  printer's  copy  from  the  pages  of  the  original  record  was 
prepared  by  Miss  Sarah  S.  Jacobs  of  this  City.  Her  great  ex- 
perience and  knowledge  of  old  town  methods  rendered  her 
familiar  with  the  demands  of  the  work,  while  her  intelligence 
and  readiness  in  deciphering  the  old  manuscript  insured  a  cor- 
rect translation  of  the  original  text.  Entirely  in  sympathy  with 
the  project  of  printing  the  old  records  of  Cambridge,  the  prepa- 
ration of  the  copy,  laborious  and  irksome  though  it  was,  has 
been  on  her  part  largely  a  labor  of  love,  —  a  fact  conclusively 
proven  by  a  careful  examination  of  these  pages. 

Besides  the  preparation  of  the  printer's  copy,  and  of  the  in- 
dexes, Miss  Jacobs  has  also  read  and  compared  the  pages  of 
proof  matter,  —  no  small  task  when  it  is  known  that  every 
word  has  been  scanned  in  order  that  not  a  letter  or  punctuation- 
mark  should  differ  from  the  original  manuscript. 

Before  the  close  of  the  year  1894  the  copy  was  completed, 
and  on  May  15,  1895,  Mayor  Bancroft  approved  an  order  of 
the  City  Council,  authorizing  the  City  Clerk  to  cause  to  be 
printed  one  thousand  copies. 

A  contract  for  printing  was  executed  with  the  "  University 
Press  "  of  this  City,  and  the  work  has  been  steadily  pushed  to 
completion.  The  excellent  typographical  appearance  of  these 
pages  is  due  to  the  foresight  and  skill  of  the  members  of  this 
printing-establishment,  who  have  suggested  freely  of  their 
knowledge  during  the  progress  of  the  work. 

The  original  Records  of  the  Proprietors  are  contained  in  three 
volumes.  The  first  volume  embraces  the  period  from  1634  to 
1 74 1,  and  contains  a  few  detached  records  as   late   as    1808. 


vi  PREFACE. 

There  is  also  a  separate  record  at  the  end  of  the  volume,  ex- 
tending from  1636  to  1697.  The  second  volume  embraces 
the  period  from  1751  to  1773.  The  third  volume  embraces  the 
period  from  1784  to  1829. 

In  1 84 1,  by  order  of  the  Selectmen,  a  transcript  of  the  origi- 
nal records  was  made  by  Rev.  Lucius  R.  Paige,  then  Clerk 
of  the  Town.  This  copy  has  been  of  very  great  assistance 
in  the  compilation  of  the  present  volume,  although  its  value 
as  a  literal  transcript  is  diminished  on  account  of  its  modern 
orthography. 

For  a  clearer  understanding  of  the  scope  of  this  work,  and  of 
the  signs  used  in  printing,  the  following  explanatory  remarks 
are  made.  It  has  been  the  intention  to  present  in  this  volume 
^//and  the  same  information  which  a  perusal  of  the  manuscript 
would  present  to  the  reader.  No  attempt  has  been  made  to 
modernize  the  text,  or  to  make  corrections  of  any  description. 
From  page  i  to  page  391,  the  book  is  a  reproduction  of  the 
originals,  except  the  introduction  of  the  title,  paging,  and  ex- 
planatory marks  and  foot-notes. 

Throughout  this  volume  the  dates  of  the  entries  do  not  ap- 
pear consecutively  in  all  cases,  but  the  dates  are  published 
in  the  exact  order  in  which  they  appear  in  the  originals.  It 
has  not  been  deemed  advisable  to  place  them  in  consecutive 
order,  except  when  such  order  was  in  agreement  with  the 
original  text. 

The  figures  at  the  top  of  the  pages  indicate  the  paging  of  the 
transcript.  The  heavy  figures  enclosed  in  brackets  represent 
the  paging  of  the  original  book  in  its  present  condition. 


PREFACE.  vii 

The  title  "  Proprietors'  Records  "  has  been  used,  in  the  belief 
that  the  appearance  of  the  book  would  be  thereby  improved. 

Brackets  enclosing  a  blank  space,  thus,  [  ],  signify  that 
something  is  missing  from,  or  illegible  in  the  original.  Carets, 
A,  show  that  a  letter  or  letters  in  a  word  are  missing.  When- 
ever a  star,  *,  appears  on  a  page  it  refers  to  a  foot-note  on  that 
page. 

In  the  original  records,  pages  115,  116,  158,  159,  160,  290, 
and  291  are  blank,  and  no  corresponding  heavy  figures  in 
brackets  appear  in  the  transcript,  nor  is  there  an  explanatory 
foot-note.  Page  171  is  repeated  both  in  the  original  and  in 
the  copy.  With  these  exceptions  any  changes  from  the  rules 
herein  stated  have  been  noted  in  foot-notes  and  indicated  by 
stars. 

On  page  367  is  printed  what  is  marked  as  page  30  of 
the  original  Volume  No.  2.  This  placing  agrees  with  the 
manuscript  as  it  now  exists,  although  there  is  a  doubt  of  its 
correctness. 

With  these  explanatory  remarks,  it  is  believed  that  an  in- 
telligent perusal  of  the  volume  is  within  the  reach  of  the 
reader.

[294]     Cambridge  August  I9*f  1767. 

At  a  meeting  of  the  Selectmen  of  said  Town  upon  application  made 
to  thim  by  the  Rev"!  M""  Daniel  Rogers  of  Littleton  giving  said  Select- 
men to  understand  that  he  Consents  to  fence  out  a  way  in  his  farm 
Scituate  lying  &  being  on  the  Rocks  in  said  Cambridge  formerly  be- 
longing to  the  Revf  M""  John  Whiting  of  Concord  for  the  accomoda- 
tion of  M""  James  Perry  &  others  in  Consequence  of  their  desire  &  pur- 
suant to  an  Antient  Vote  of  the  Proprietors  in  said  Town,  where  no 
way  hath  been  laid  out. 

The  s**  Selectmen  upon  mature  Consideration  had  made  Choice  of 
the  Hon^^?  William  Brattle  Esq^  &  Cap*  Ebenezer  Stedman  ;  the  Revf 
Mr  Dan!  Rogers  made  Choice  of  Cap* :  Ephraim  Frost  jun''  &  Mf  William 
Dana  both  Selectmen  of  said  Cambridge  to  joyn  with  the  first  named 
Selectmen;  the  said  William  ;  Ebenezer,  Ephraim  &  William  to  be  the 
Committe  to  lay  out  said  way  for  the  purpose  aforesaid  ;  The  Selectmen 
&  Committe  are  very  Sensible  that  on  the  10*^  of  January  1705  there 
was  a  Similar  Application  to  this  made  by  M''  Thomas  Whittemore  a 
Tenant  on  said  Whitings  Farm,  now  said  Rogers's,  But  not  by  the  said 
Whiting  that  we  could  learn  Either  by  the  Proprietors  Records  or  any 
otherwise,  nor  doth  it  appear  that  Application  was  then  made  to  the 
Selectmen  by  any  other  person  living,  but  by  the  said  Whittemore  ; 
who  Considered  as  a  Tenant  had  no  Right  to  apply  or  the  Selectmen 
to  Grant  his  Request  &  pofsible  the  whole  was  done  without  the  said 
Whitings  knowledge ;  yet  so  it  was  a  way  was  then  laid  out  in  Conse- 
quence of  said  Application  through  s**:  Whitings  farm,  now  said  Rogers's 
on  the  Rocks  aforesaid.  But  the  way  was  never  fenced  out  or  Trod  to 
this  day  that  any  one  living  can  tell,  for  where  said  way  was  then  laid 
out  (Viz.*)  from  the  Road  leading  from  Menotomy  to  Watertown  to 
Nicholas  Fefsendens  Corner  cannot  pofsibly  be  afsertained  in  the  whole. 
But  by  that  part  of  said  way  which  is  known  it  manifestly  appears  that  it 


PROPRIETORS'    RECORDS.  325 

cant  now  nor  Could  it  ever  accomodate  any  persons  land  that  way, 
which  pofsibly  might  be  the  Reason  why  it  never  was  used  or  fenced  of; 
Wherefore  upon  the  whole  the  same  Cannot  in  law  or  Equity  be  looked 
upon  as  a  way  according  to  the  True  Intent  &  meaning  of  the  Vote  of 
the  Proprietors  aforesaid  any  more  then  if  it  had  never  been  layed  out, 
therefore  in  lieu  thereof,  &  that  the  said  James  Perry  &  others  might  be 
accomodated  with  [295]  a  way  through  s*^  Rogers  s  land  on  the  Rocks 
afores*^  formerly  s*^  Whitings  agreable  to  the  True  Intent  &  meaning  of 
sf  Proprietors  Vote  as  afores*^ 

We  whose  names  are  under  written  a  Committe  aforesaid  for  the 
purpose  aforesaid  Do  this  19***  of  August  1767.  hereby  order  &  Deter- 
mine that  the  pafsage  way  through  said  Rogers's  farm  on  the  Rocks 
aforesaid  formerly  said  Whitings  land  for  the  accomodation  of  the  said 
James  Perry  &  others  in  lieu  of  the  way  aforesaid  be  as  follows,  (Viz^) 
To  begin  at  the  Stone  wall  near  to  the  Gate  where  there  are  two  horse 
Blocks  one  Standing  on  the  Kings  way  leading  from  Menotomy  Meet- 
ing house  to  Watertown ;  the  other  Standing  in  M'  Rogers's  Pasture 
leading  to  the  s*?  Perrys  house  to  begin  from  the  said  Rogers's  Stone  wall

to  said  Wall  till  meets  with  the  said  James's  Wall,  &  so  it  is  to  Run  two 
Rods  distant  &  from  his  wall  till  it  comes  to  Nicholas  Fefsenden's 
Corner  formerly  so  Called,  now  Zachariah  Hill's  Corner  or  dividing  line 
between  him  &the  s*?  James ;  &  from  said  Corner  it  is  to  Run  two  Rods 
upon  &  from  said  Hills  land  &  no  further,  when  the  Road  or  pafsage  way

Cambridge  June  27.  1797. 

Aoreeable  to  the  annexed  Instructions,  we  the  Subscribers  have 
been  &  viewed  one  lot  of  land  belonging  to  Noah  Rufsell  on  the  second 
division  which  lot  was  according  to  the  best  information  now  to  be 
obtained  was  laid  out  to  one  Blowers  &  we  find  that  said  Blowers' 
lot  laiys  at  the  head  of  a  lot  laid  out  to  Lieut.  Remington  in  the 
first  division  from  the  road  that  was  formerly  laid  out  from  Watertown 
line  to  Cooks  Mills.  We  also  find,  that  about  the  year  1726.  that  a 
Conjmittee  was  on  said  Remington's  lot  &  did  lay  out  a  road  through 
the  same  in  order  to  accomodate  said  Blower's  lot,  &  from  a  change 
of  property  we  find  that  it  is  not  necefsary  to  continue  said  road  any 
further,  nor  to  have  a  pafsage  laid  out  through  said  Blowers  or  Ruf- 
sell lot. 

July  3.  1797.  We  also  proceeded  to  view  Two  lots  on  said  second 
division  one  belonging  to  Joni*  Robbins  the  other  to  said  Noah  Rufsell, 
which  two  lots,  we  beleive,  was  formerly  laid  out  to  Richard  Cutter  &  one 
Swan,  &  are  of  opinion,  that  a  pafsage  way  thro  said  lots  is  necefsary  to 
be  laid  out  &  have  staked  out  the  same  as  follows,  Viz.  Beginning  at  the 
head  of  a  lot  in  the  first  division,  belonging  to  Samuel  Rufsell,  being 
the  Northerly  of  said  pafsage  and  continuing  the  same  course 

at  the  head  of  Ephraim  Cook's  lot  as  the  Wall  now  stands,  untill  it 
comes  within  Two  rods  at  the  westerly  side  of  said  Noah  Rufsell's  lot 
to  a  stake  &  stones;  then  turning  Southerly  at  the  side  of  said  Rufsell's 
lot  about  four  rods  to  another  stake  &  stones,  said  pafsage  not  a  be 
lefs  than  two  rods  wide,  and  are  also  of  opinion,  that  the  said  Robbins 
&  Rufsell  may  inclose  the  rest  of  their  lots.  —

In  pursuance  of  the  within  appointment,  we  the  persons  therein  named, 
have  been  on,  &  carefully  viewed  the  land  belonging  to  Nehemiah  Cut- 
ter, it  being  a  part  of  the  Eightieth  lot  in  the  first  division,  laid  out  to 
Edward  Pelham,  &  having  maturely  considered  the  necefsity  of  laying 
out,  or  stating  a  pafsage  through  the  same,  are  clearly  of  opinion,  that 
in  our  judgment,  there  is  no  necefsity  of  any  pafsage  being  stated  thro 
the  land  belonging  to  said  Cutter,  which  is  abovementioned
